Hi Paul,

Following our Team Viewer session yesterday.

The problem with your design was the step housing depths. They were set to “Step Recess” and not “Step Penetration”.

I attach the stair with the correct setting. I’ve also adjusted a bit the strings and set them to straight on the right hand side. This means you’ll have to probably adjust by hand the shape of the first right hand string to string joint.

Your StairDesigner 7 model looks good too. However you have to work a bit differently with 7 as the landing step is not automatically deducted from the tread line.

As you know I have purchased the complete stair designer program and we are just about to make our first staircase using it. I do not have a plotter yet and would like to be able to send the print file to a local company who can plot out A0 size prints.

Can you give some pointers on how to achieve this please. The print company say they just need a file emailing to them but I,m not sure how.

I would like to be able have the strings, winders and newel post templates.
